Mon, 19 Nov 2018 21:33:09 GMT(CNN)The White House on Monday said that CNN correspondent Jim Acosta's press pass has been "restored," bowing to days of pressure and a federal lawsuit against the administration.

CNN signaled that it would drop the ongoing litigation over Acosta's access to the White House.
"Today the White House fully restored Jim Acosta's press pass. As a result, our lawsuit is no longer necessary," the network said in a statement. "We look forward to continuing to cover the White House."
Monday afternoon's announcement, what the White House called a "final determination," was an abrupt shift from the administration's earlier positions.
Nearly two weeks ago the Trump administration took the unprecedented step of suspending Acosta's access to the White House after he had a contentious exchange with President Trump at a press conference

Democrats received almost as many midterms votes as Trump in presidential election – results show it's a 'a crazy number'

Highest turnout since 1914 sees party come within touching distance of presidential popular vote tally

America’s midterm elections saw Democrats win an unprecedented number of votes for an opposition party thanks to high turnout numbers.

Democratic candidates are forecast to receive more than 60.5 million votes in total for the house once the final ballots have been counted.

If accurate, the figure would be the closest an opposition party has come in a midterm election to matching the president’s backing two years earlier.

Donald Trump received just shy of 63 million votes in 2016, as he lost the popular vote but achieved a comfortable victory under the electoral college system.

House Democrats are currently on course to hit around 96 per cent of Mr Trump’s vote share from two years prior, beating the record 92 per cent of Richard Nixon’s share from 1968 seen in the subsequent midterms.

Pollster Nate Silver described the number of voters mobilised for the Democrats during the midterms as “crazy”, given turnout is usually considerably lower than in presidential elections.

If there was one demographic group that blunted the force of the “blue wave” in this month’s midterm elections, it was rural white voters. Even as Republicans lost control of the suburban areas that had been their strongholds in the 1980s and 1990s, Republicans extended their hold over rural America. The GOP is now on the verge of uniting nearly all rural white voters into a single party – which has never happened before.

The Pittsburgh shooter bought into white supremacist claims of a 'Semitic plot against America,' reviving a medieval blood libel of Christ-killers, cannibals and invaders. This is how the Trump administration fuels that dangerous fantasy

During a panel discussion, CNN played a clip of Trump trashing McRaven, even as Fox News’ Chris Wallace reminded the president that “he led the command of operations that took down bin Laden.”
Trump, however, was dismissive of McRaven’s accomplishments.

“He’s a Hillary Clinton backer and an Obama backer and frankly… wouldn’t it have been nice if we would have gotten bin Laden earlier than that?” he said.

Panelist Catherine Rampell tore Trump to pieces for going after McRaven while pointing out the multiple draft deferments Trump got during the Vietnam War due to purported “bone spurs” in his feet.

“President Bone Spurs is mocking a revered military hero who took down bin Laden and claiming, ‘Well, he should have been done it earlier,'” she said. “Trump is someone who dodged the draft himself. Who is he to say that this revered military hero didn’t do his job?”

Why is the 2nd amendment such touchy stuff, when a one man arsenal of death, has nothing to do with well regulated anything. Take regulated to it's truest meaning, and it means controlled. Like how opiates are regulated better, after the addiction epidemic. Regulating means to tweak, and adjust for the better. In an essence the very thing the 2nd speaks of, it's worshipers trample on. If we can't regulate a militia, the 2nd is pointless. Even in the military, you aren't just given access to assault rifles, and yet any drunken slob, can have one for home. Thanks NRA for letting yourself be taken over by money interests. Some old timers used to be quite proud of being in the NRA, but many have abandoned ship, from the old days. It's almost like you can't be passionate about guns anymore, unless you give everyone the hand to talk to, whenever gun control is brought up. I bet you'd be considered a traitor if you thought assault weapons should be regulated.

Where Prisoners are treated like people. Once communism/socialism has a foot in the door, incarceration rates go down and costs go down with it. But it's a sacrifice in America's capitalist prinsiples of making the criminal element pay a high price for their crimes. Norway's prison population are treated better than the average American. And they're eating steaks more often too!

If that's what Americans want they be aware that socialism becomes creeping communism!

If it succeeds in bringing Israel closer into its orbit, then the United States will have lost a key part of its strategy to contain China in this century

During a visit by Chinese vice president Wang Qishan to Israel last month, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the “ growing ties ” between the two countries. Since they established official relations twenty-six years ago, Israel and China have strengthened the bilateral relationship across a number of areas. Israel’s warming to America’s chief competitor sends a clear message to Washington that it can no longer count on unconditional Israeli support.

China’s economic and military rise may over the next few decades push Israel away from Washington and toward Beijing.
